🇺🇳🇺🇸🇯🇵🇰🇷🇮🇳🇪🇺🇬🇧🇦🇺🇻🇳🇵🇭.🇲🇳We call on the UN, the International Court of Justice, the United States, Japan, the EU, the United Kingdom, Australia, India, and their allies to strongly support ASEAN countries and Japan in resisting the threats of bullying, expansionism, and the illegal occupation by force of ASEAN countries' islands in the South China Sea, which seriously violate the 1982 Law of the Sea, international law, the UN Charter, and international justice. The United States, Japan, the EU, India, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the international community need to protect the world's most important shipping lanes and freedom of navigation in the South China Sea. And protect the East China Sea, protect the Malacca Strait, and protect Taiwan from threats of invasion. Severely punish trade fraud, manipulation of global trade, fraud crimes, and technology theft. ❗️Quickly consolidate the "strategic alliance: the US, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, India, and Mongolia."🇲🇳
